Feeder Bullies : Stellar's Jay

Pictures/previews for this page have been removed due to Designers retiring and stores closing

There is just no denying it : The Stellar's Jay is a beautiful bird; the Stellar's Jay is a bully!

Arriving at the feeder with a raucous screeching announcement, they promptly chase away every other bird and proceed stuffing their cheeks with seeds. And they are not choosey either. Any seeds will do. Bad mannered too huh?

But oh so pretty, when the sun catches those blue feathers, the bird looks like a gem, a costly Lapis Lazuli stone. And as a besides-the-point : The Stellar's Jay is the provincial bird of British Columbia. Not a bad distinction for a 'bully' is it?

Kidding aside, some days we do feel like chasing them a milion miles away, yet the other day when a hawk cornered one on the deck, hubby lost no time in coming to it's rescue...isn't it a quirk in the English language that a heart can be both big and small, at the same time, and mean very much the same thing in the end? Gotta love English....

I made another LO for our "Critters At Our House" album : this time featuring our favourite bullies! LOL for my LO I chose Gypsy Couture's Carefree Days Kit

The template (which I turned, moved and in general rearranged) for my LO I got from Denise's The Rich Scrapper blog...you can find this great freebie HERE

Gypsy Couture is having a sale this weekend at her Digichick store:

Springtime Memories...

Well it sure looks like it on these pictures. that is my sister...and no her name isn't really Jane, but then again, there was a point in time when my Mom called each one of us 'Lady Jane'

I just love these pictures of her, I tell you these negatives I'm receiving, of these old family pictures, are a treasure beyond words. Many I've never seen.

Oh the album ideas I have in my head!

I used a new Collab Kit (Through My Window)over at Plain Digital Wrapper for my page and the template is by my friend Denise Rich. You can find it on her blog The Rich Scrapper.

Now I just received more negative yesterday, so I have scanning and house cleaning to do.
